Cool, I’m watching this in my Crosstrek as I’m about the crash for the evening on the edge of some wealthy persons ranch, I’m on public land though, still hope I don’t get busted, lol. You’re fully decked out, good luck cheers.
Hey, just to be a ninney, I'd check to see if any of your gear will interfere with air bag deployment. LOL, I actually have gloves in the glove box! Thanks for the ideas.
Out of all of the tips I've been gathering from videos like yours, about car camping in a Crosstrek, one of the most vital, yet simple, is having a carabiner for the hatch. I'd probably be screwed if I didn't know about that.
@@rohitvenu the car’s electronics (light/screen/etc) stay on because it considers the hatch like any other door, so it essentially acts like you’ve got an open door and stays on
... nice set up , I went with the Forester , because being 70 and 6' I need a bit more room to enter the drivers seat as you do lol ... safe travels ...
What an amazing find. You had me at "to store rocks that I find". I bought a new Crosstrek Sport in February, 2023, for work. The Ford Transit Connect that I did a basic conversion on wasn't something I could drive coworkers around in, thus the car purchase. However, I plan to leave California and live on the road in the Southwest (eventually returning to New Mexico, which I LOVE), but I've been torn between selling the van and modifying the Subaru, or jsut keeping both. Thank you so much for this video. I think even with the dogs, living out of the Subaru is possible (we did a short trial trip to see the eclipse in Nevada, and they liked it better than the van). Thank you so much for this, and I will subscribe to see if you are still traveling.
I am planning on creating outdoor options if things go south but I could never live this disorganized. Two kinds of lotion? A microplane? Specialty culinary ingredients? YOU ARE LIVING IN YOUR CAR!!!!!! Stick with the basics. Sleep. Hygiene. A few cooking items (hibachi, couple of pans). The battery pack and solar panels. The sun shade, maybe a chair. I just imagine you rifling through this disorganized jungle of random stuff in every possible corner. Sorry, I have a hard time with chaos (slightly on the spectrum) no offense. This just triggered my need for order. Glad it works for you. Best of luck.
Thanks for the tour! The carabiner trick is very good to know. I have a 2013 Crosstrek and love it. I don’t live in it (yet) but do camp a lot, sometimes with my spouse. I found that the Exped mega mat duo fits perfectly in the back in terms of width - it’s a little bit longer even with the front seats all the way forward so I just tuck it behind the front seats. The different level when the seats are folded down is the only trouble. That still leaves room on the floor in the passenger area. I also have the window screens (game changer!) and that same usb fan. I wonder if there’s a screen for the skylight. With a longer storage box on the roof, we can fit clothes and food/cooking stuff. I just use a cooler for a few things like creamer for the coffee. I love the rice cooker and kettle, but I’m not sure about getting the solar and jackery. Can you actually power those appliances with solar?
Loved that this was one of the first epis. A lot of the things I was wondering about were answered up front. Looking forward to living vicariously through your journeys Thien, thanks for sharing with us corp slaves ⛓️
Do you put your weights in the back when you travel? It’s giving me anxiety that it is on the floor next to the driver if you have an accident. Be safe and thanks for the video!

Great tour. I also have a 2018 and worry about draining the battery when the hatch is open. I'm going to try your carbanier idea. Will it also turn off the light?
When my Crosstrek hatch is open it only turns on the dome light, which can be shut off manually. Why would an open hatch drain any power if the car is turned off???
Nice to see how much you can get into a smaller Subaru.. I have an XV and am looking forward to weekend camping.. we just gotta get out there! Have made a half platform which can also be a full platform, for more underneath storage, so should be heaps of space. Thanks Thien
That's impressive! I saw another RUclipsr that lived in his Forester used a carbon monoxide detector for safety, plus carbon in bags in a couple of places to deal with odor. I have a 2020 Forester, it's my mother's actually but I give her some money that helps with the payments and pay a couple of bills to boot. She just had a heart attack so she can't go camping anytime soon but maybe when I get a sub 1500 lbs trailer so she can be comfortable. I saw one with a bed, TV and fridge and outdoor kitchen mentioned on a website. Maybe I can get my brother to go too. He was in the army. I just did a little bit of civilian air force. I don't think I could do this sort of thing alone with my brain injury. Plus I'm limited in skills.
Hi! I'm Thien, and I am very limber! Just kidding with you ;) And a little jealous. ~~an old lady who definitely cannot accomplish your amazing feat of back to front seat like an acrobat but is working on an Outback car camper currently.

I can be ready to bug out in about 20 minutes because all I have to do now is fill the cooler and the water jugs! Thank you for your video.

Surprised you didn’t go with a rooftop tent - any thoughts on doing a rebuild in the future? Granted your space now is freaking sweet so I imagine it would be tough to change if you wanted too
My set up now is a little different than what I showed here and it works way better. Didn’t want a rooftop tent cause it would be awkward popping it up in a city 💀
I have a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Premium and I just started car camping in December 2022. I am very interested in your bed platform. Mine just sits directly on the back seat when laid down but I think that the storage underneath may be a good thing. Time to search your videos for a bed build video! Safe travels!
Thanks for watching Michelle! Unfortunately I don’t have a bed build video, but it’s just a sheet of 3/4 in plywood and 2x4s for support. I had Home Depot cut the wood to my measurements. Gave up headroom but I def needed the storage underneath.
Just in case my other comment is buried, why does an open rear hatch drain a battery, if the car is turned off and the dome light is also turned off? I can’t think of any other drain. BTW, watch out for high humidity levels inside the car, like from your exhaling all night long. I have heard of serious electrical issues as a result (not just Subarus either).
Hi! From my understanding (via Subaru Facebook groups) the hatch still draws power even if the light is off, the dash light indicating a door is open is also on. I woke up to a dead battery cause I kept the hatch opened all night several nights while sleeping and that was the only thing I could think of that drained my battery. I also sleep with the windows cracked so humidity isn’t a huge issue. Thanks for watching!
I had the opportunity to do it for about three months during a road trip in 2021, so I already had a taste of it, but anxiety is normal for doing this!
@@thienqueue I work remotely and my main concern is keeping my laptop from being destroyed by the cold but I’m having a sleeve custom made for it because it’s 20” and I can’t find one plus silica packets and maybe a buddy heater.

Hey, Thien. First-time visitor. Subarus are great for carcamping - I own a Forester. Man, your Crosstrek is PACKED, and being an understandably paranoid Angelino, I'd worry about all my stuff getting stolen from my car unfortunately, and forget about owning/safely storing a bike and a larger musical instrument like a keyboard and amp. 😳
Hey Sean, thanks for watching! Your paranoia is valid because thefts can happen! It happened to me a while ago so I try to stay away from heavily populated areas to minimize the chances, but as long as I’m safe, material things can be replaced :)
Thien, awesome video. I'm not sure if this was asked but can you tell me the type of refridgerator you have? I didn't quiet pick that up. I have a 2019 Crosstrek and I'm so want to car camp within the next year before I'm too old :)

Hello Thien, you have a very packed car and you made use of every inch available in your it. How has been security wise while travelling through cities or campgrounds has it been all good? Do you live full time out of your vehicle or just temporary? How is the gas mileage reasonable? Cheers.
I live out of my vehicle full time! Gas mileage is great, just under 30mpg but it’s a crosstrek. Security has been fine for the most part (no physical danger), but I have had things stolen from my campsite when I’ve left to explore. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I have a fan if it gets too hot, but I just go up in elevation and it’s usually cooler.
What was the beanie? You said to support them?
Caffeine & kilos!
@@thienqueue I'll look them up
Where did you get the tan waffle knit sweater from the beginning of the video?
They were army issued :)
Oh nice! Where is this filmed? New Mexico? Utah?
This was in New Mexico!
@@thienqueue Very nice! It’s a great place to explore and do all sorts of outdoors activities away from the crowds! I’d love to live it up in a SUV like that!
Any regrets so far not going bigger like the OutBack?
All the time, but then again I never thought I’d be living out of it when I bought it lol
Do you have the links to all the must haves?
Hi! I updated the description of this video with links to my favorite items. Check it out :)
lol we get into our driver seat the same way :D
also when you said "mess Kit' and "eyepro" i know you were in the military, haha. cant escape it
No matter how hard you try!
@@thienqueue I've been out two years now and I still say "solid copy" in emails. luckly alot of my clients are veterans so they don't judge me, HA
@@inkstickart fighting the urge to say “roger”
Should I get the extended warranty when I buy my new Crosstrek?
I didn’t, solely relied on the dependability of Subarus.
Yes, dependable. But if u can afford the Subaru Added Security warranty, get it. The cars are far more complex now, such as the Eyesight system. Take a guess what it takes to diagnose and fix that, at $170/hour labor charge? :)
Did you take your back seats out?
Nope! They’re still intact.
how do you see enough to drive?
The army fixed my eyes. Jokes aside, i can see through all my windows!
And where does your mate sleep?
Nowhere! I’m single!
@@thienqueue A young man like you needs a mate. 😁
lol how did you light the roof on fire?
I had my backpacking stove’s flame a little too high one time lol
What rooftop storage container is that?
Heavy Duty Hard Shell Roof Top Mount Car Storage Travel Luggage Box Cargo Carrier with Security Keys, 53 (L) x 34 (W) x 15 (H) Inches, Capacity 110 Po www.amazon.com/dp/B0821WZ7YL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_Kj4FV1mjvEG11
This one!
I'm getting claustrophobic just looking.
Haha fair!
And then I have... And then I have... Aaaa oooo eee, and then I have ...
Stay safe.
Absolutely, thank you!
I served in the Army
with a guy whose last name was Nguyen
There are a lot of us out there. I hope the one you served with wasn’t a shithead!
Nope he was a standup guy.
I can get hilarious 🤣

😁👍👍
Lotion next to the toilet paper, eh? Nuf said
Okay I laughed 💀
Sorry, I wanted to see your s yup, but lost interested watching you take inventory of your stuff 😢
Why do people go thru all that hassle of showing what they have….people only want to see the set up. Not where you store your sun block. Smh
FYI, you’re in charge of the media you consume, so you can just click off the video. Hope this helps! :)
Living in your car and posting it thinking it's cool isn't cool.
Jokes on you I was never cool to begin with ;)
@@thienqueue
